This is what I said. You can take a time out and there is no problem. However for an injury time out your players need to stay on the field. I agree with your point on the game ball that they shouldn't be allowed to use it. However I still don't know if the new substitute center can bring a ball onto the field during an injury time out and practice snaps with the QB. I guess the only time I would need to make it my business is if the other coach complained. I would probably let them do it on the field near their sidelines.
Fair enough, and probably a decent reply to the coach considering you were put on the spot.

To your question - can you think of any rule prohibiting a ball on the field during a timeout? Even if the other coach complained ... this is nothing.
